Lightning take a page out of the Red Wings' book in bringing photographic inspiration into locker room

According to the St. Petersburg Times' Damian Cristodero, Tampa Bay Lightning coach Guy Boucher wants to revamp that Lightning's locker room to include oodles of pictures of the organization's "greats" celebrating their 2004 Stanley Cup win and making selfless plays like blocking shots. It should come as no surprise that former Red Wings forward and VP Steve Yzerman, now the Lightning's GM, endorses the redecoration because it worked for his previous employer:

July 17, St. Petersburg Times: "You're creating an identity of what the Tampa Bay Lightning are,"
general manager Steve Yzerman said. "The more you see it, the more you
hear it, it's encouraged, the expectation is there. Eventually, the
players figure it out."

Yzerman always had it figured out. On the
day the Red Wings in 1983 drafted him fourth overall, he read through
the team media guide to brush up on the organization's history. He also
saw Detroit owner Mike Ilitch create in and around the Red Wings locker
room at Joe Louis Arena a photographic tribute to the team's greatest
players.

"So, it's important these young kids coming up know who
Martin St. Louis is and Vincent Lecavalier and even going back to Brad
Richards and Dan Boyle and (Nikolai) Khabibulin," Yzerman said. "Those
guys were there when they won the Stanley Cup. You want these players to
feel a bond with the organization."
